The latest long-player by John Touchton’s eerie Everglades industrial enterprise Severed+Said is also his loftiest, equal parts synth-wave séance, abduction hallucination, and paranormal noir.

LA Vampires Goes Ital - Streetwise
LA Vampires Goes Ital - Streetwise
NOT NOT FUN
*
LA Vampires recontextualizes into a new EP, this time with SF-gone-NY lovers rocker Ital. Each song was pieced together from a rainbow of sources – screwed tape loops, multiple drum machines, layers of synth lines and phasings, analog samplers, live vocal remixing, etc – and the results are raw asymmetrical bangers blasting down dim concrete hallways streaked with chemical graffiti and bootleg club lights. Too gritty and blasted for dancing but too banging to sit still, this is the mutant zone, a white label 12” found in a sewer seething with dry ice and recorded through a wall. Wake up and weird out. Life’s too lame to play it straight.

La Vampires and Matrix Metals - 'So Unreal'
La Vampires and Matrix Metals - 'So Unreal'
_
Episode two in season one of the LA Vampires Collab Chronicles finds her joining forces with elusive alien discotech-head Matrix Metals of the nomadic Outer Limits Recordings cabal. Blurry cassette-loop architectures groove and grind under jazzy Casio canopies while Ms. LA Vamps screws it all down, layering in square-wave keyboards, echo FX, drum machine detailing, low-end throbs, and sings lead on a gold spray-painted microphone. The entire LP shares that 'melting-on-the-dashboard’ warped-world tonality of all the choicest Outer Limits tracks, and the fried radio rhythm backing beats coax out a hidden sunbleached drugged pop vocal mode not evident on any of her previous vinyl.
